Context of Matthew 22:44

42“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They replied, “He is the son of David.” 43Jesus responded, “Then why does David, speaking under the inspiration of the Spirit, call the Messiah ‘my Lord’? For David said, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies beneath your feet.’ 45Since David called the Messiah ‘my Lord,’ how can the Messiah be his son?” 46No one could answer him. And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
